Does any one know if Fiat 124/x19 wheels will fit on our sprites?? How about wheels from a triumph spitfire? How exactly are you supposed to measure the bolt pattern any way, isn't it the diameter ci

No and No. Frayed knot. Actually, there's very little that fits. Vega/Monza/Starfire/etc. is all I know about. And requires a thin spacer at one end of the car. The Vega wheels with lots of small ho

Fiat wheels are 4 X 98mm they will not work properly. You measure the diameter from center of bolt hole to center of diagonally opposite bolt hole. Spridgets are 4 X 4". Spitfires use the same 3/8X24

In my quest to find 5.0" wide wheels for my ' 67 Midget vintage racer, I have found problems with all the usual equivalent wheels. The Vega wheels are 5.0 " ( the Vega GT wheels are 6.0") but have th

Why not just have Weller make you a custom set of steel wheels. They are not expensive, they look vintage and they will build exactly what you want. Daniel

My Father's Race Bugeye has what I believe as Authentic Mini-Lites on it. Can these be reliably used as street wheels? Or should I look for something else? Brian _____________________________________

Those wheels are worth some good $, so don't let anyone (like me) talk you out of then cheap. The biggest problems I see in any of the early magnesium wheels is fatigue cracks and porosity(sp?). The

To measure bolt circles on all wheels with an even amount of bolt holes, just measure from the inside edge of one hole to the outside edge of the one straight across from it. That gives you the cente
